Planning will now move into the design development stage in which more specific plans and details will be worked out. Advisory groups will continue to meet in the phase to provide input and insight.
Follow along as we construct new Portage North and Central Middle Schools, renovate West Middle School and the Portage Community Education Center, add athletic event facilities and pools to Portage Northern and Central High Schools. Technology investment will bring 1-1 computing to the Portage Learning Community, and new buses will enhance our transportation services.

A first look at schematic designs for new middle schools
The Board of Education and the community has had their first peek at the schematic designs for the new North and Central Middle Schools. A schematic design defines the general scope and concept of the project including scale and relationships to other building components. The two middle schools are being planned using prototype designs. This means the basic buildings will be the same with minor changes to accommodate the unique aspects of each campus. The exterior materials, interior colors and other materials will vary to give each school its own identity and complement existing structures on each campus.
